Turn the route into a clear brief

State the pickup and destination addresses, date, passenger count and luggage. Explain whether the request is one way, return or a day that includes waiting and several stops.

Describe each leg of the route

Separate a direct transfer from a sightseeing day. A request for Tbilisi to Kazbegi, for example, should say whether you want only the journey, agreed stops, waiting time or an overnight return. The number of days, luggage, passenger needs and the driver’s role should be clear before comparing proposals.

Questions for the itinerary

  • The exact pickup and final drop-off addresses.
  • Which stops are essential and which can change with conditions.
  • How long the vehicle is required and whether the route ends where it began.
  • Whether guiding, attraction tickets, meals or accommodation are separate.
  • The agreed approach to changes, delays, weather and road restrictions.

For a multi-day route, discuss luggage storage, driver accommodation where relevant and the daily start and finish expectations. A comfortable itinerary leaves time for the people travelling, rather than using the driving distance as the only measure of a day.

For leisure travel, list the places that matter most and how much walking you want. For a business visit, identify fixed meeting times so the proposed journey can include realistic time between them.

Ask for the complete proposal

The provider should confirm the vehicle’s capacity, driver arrangements, route, total price and currency. Ask which waiting, parking, admissions, meals or extra stops are included and which are not. A driver service does not automatically include a guide.

Where a route depends on mountain access or seasonal conditions, it must be reviewed for the travel date and the vehicle proposed. Discuss a workable alternative and cancellation terms in advance.

Compare rather than assume

Rail or other scheduled transport may fit some journeys; consult the official operator for current departures and terms. ExploreGE can coordinate an enquiry, but it does not display live vehicle stock or guarantee that every requested route can be operated. Confirm the provider’s written terms before treating the journey as booked.

Ask TransferTbilisi

ExploreGE connects this transport enquiry with TransferTbilisi. Confirm the exact pickup point, route coverage, date and vehicle with the provider; this page is not a promise of availability.

Keep planning

Good to know.

Can I add sightseeing stops to a transfer?

Yes, if they are described and included in the confirmed quote. Extra stops should not be assumed to be free or available on the day.

Does a private driver automatically include a tour guide?

No. Request a guide or a particular language explicitly and check what the final proposal includes.

Is an intercity transfer the same as a guided tour?

No. Explain whether you need transport, planned sightseeing stops, a guide or a combination. The agreed scope should identify which tasks and costs are included.
